What I enjoyed most about this book was that it was concise。 Sometimes， you just want something quick to look at to use as a guide when you are struggling with depression。 In other self-help books， there are a lot of stories and examples， which is nice too in that it shows evidence that what is being talked about works， but it takes forever to get to the point。 I borrowed this from the library， but I'm considering buying my own copy to use as a quick reference when needed。 What I enjoyed most about this book was that it was concise。 Sometimes， you just want something quick to look at to use as a guide when you are struggling with depression。 In other self-help books， there are a lot of stories and examples， which is nice too in that it shows evidence that what is being talked about works， but it takes forever to get to the point。 I borrowed this from the library， but I'm considering buying my own copy to use as a quick reference when needed。 。。。more

The Depression Toolkit by William Knaus， Alex Korb， Patricia J。 Robinson， Lisa M。 Schab， and Kirk D。 Strosahl offers a combination of evidence-based tools to help readers with depression feel better。It contains 46 activities divided into 5 sections: find refuge from negative thoughts， get unstuck when you’re down， beat hopelessness and low motivation， make easy habit changes that you’ll thank yourself for later， and deal with the tough stuff。 Each activity begins with a “what to know” section fo The Depression Toolkit by William Knaus， Alex Korb， Patricia J。 Robinson， Lisa M。 Schab， and Kirk D。 Strosahl offers a combination of evidence-based tools to help readers with depression feel better。It contains 46 activities divided into 5 sections: find refuge from negative thoughts， get unstuck when you’re down， beat hopelessness and low motivation， make easy habit changes that you’ll thank yourself for later， and deal with the tough stuff。 Each activity begins with a “what to know” section followed by “what to do。” Most activities are 2-3 pages， so the book is short and easy to read。There’s a strong cognitive behavioural therapy （CBT） element。 The book addresses topics like sleep， mindfulness， physical activity， avoidance， and accumulating positives。 It’s quite practical and action-oriented， with various examples given of ways to implement the different strategies。Something I’ve noticed in other CBT books， and in this book to some extent， is an air of certainty that the strategies described will always work without fail。 I find that to be a bit of a turnoff， as nothing is guaranteed to work for everyone。 There’s no mention of the possibility of needing to consider meds， managing suicidal thoughts， or what to do if the strategies in the book aren’t cutting it， so I think the book is probably aimed at the lower end of the depression severity spectrum。If the book’s subtitle， Quick Relief to Improve Mood， Increase Motivation & Feel Better Now， sounds somewhat within reach for you， I can see this being a really good book。 If you’re in the boat where that subtitle makes you think been there， done that， and it doesn’t work that way， then it’s probably not the right book for you。I received a reviewer copy from the publisher through Netgalley。 。。。more
